A chic warehouse-style house with brilliant interiors

Our next home is a fashionable addition that has been created atop a
garage – a space that many people do not typically use. A linear style home
especially does not support the use of this space. Yet the designers and architects from Morimoto Atelier in Chiba Prefecture have managed to create an
extension with the use of many mixed materials for a chic warehouse-style look.
This 2,960 square foot space has been put to good use with a hint of the Orient
and a generous smattering of robust modern style.

​Hint of the Orient

The very facade of this space brings on an Oriental touch to its
look. The wooden slats come together for a neat and almost woven appearance with
lots of symmetry at play. The exposed cement facade of the garage below ensures
that there is a delicate
balance at play in the basic design scheme of the home.

​Asymmetrical angles

玄関ホール

The warehouse look has been handled with the help of rich flagstone
tiles and exposed cement walls, which tunnel into an asymmetrical look. The
angles of the walls and the scale of the space, despite the narrow area,
ensures that the robust and the industrial go hand in hand.

​Bright demeanour

リビングスペース

The bright blue wall is one that sits well with the matte texture of
the black fixtures and fittings in this room. The wave-style pattern of the
wooden tiles on the floor as well as the polished wooden and leather furniture
create a rich and robust look in this rather modern space. The piano makes for
a whimsical and flamboyant look.

​Lightweight good looks in the kitchen

キッチン

The kitchen is a large one with many classy elements at play. The
stately good looks are down to the lightweight objects like the simple polished
cabinets and white counters that sit in a U shape around the island of the
kitchen. White cabinets and chrome fittings complete the rest of the space.

​Luxury at its best

The main hall has a luxurious glass wall on one side, which shows
off the treetops and makes for a lush statement even when you are seated
indoors. The chandeliers, the polished wooden table and the floor also adhere
to this sense of luxury indoors.
